Blue Butterfly in KY

Sorry I havn’t been keeping up with the blogs lately. We have been on the St Johns River, FL for the past two weeks. So check out the blog…. www.alwayslingerawhile.blogspot.com We had a great time…saw many Manatees and other wildlife.

On our trip to KY, earlier this year, I spotted this pretty blue butterfly. I am not sure what kind it is.

At first, I thought it might be a Swallowtail but on closer inspection I dont see the “tail”.

It cooperated very nicely for the photos. Willingly sat on the sidewalk for them.

It is beautiful. I made a picture of one last year that had that color blue on the bottom half and the top half was a darker blue but no brown anywhere. I never found out what kind it was after researching everywhere I could. Helen

About Me

My husband and I are best friends. We have spent almost everyday of the past 19 years together. And most of it in small spaces. 15 years in a truck and as much time as we can on a small boat. Together we have 5 children. All of whom are decent,caring people. I don't think I can say anything nicer about them then that. I enjoy photography, and am amazed at how little I really know about the critters that share our little spot in the jungle. But I am learning.
